David Conklin is a professor at the Richard Ivey School of Business where he teaches courses in the Environment of Business and Business in a Political World. His courses examine the ways in which the social, technological, economic, and political forces differ among countries, creating opportunities and challenges for businesses. Increasingly these courses have come to focus on the competitive advantage of nations and the implications for international trade and investment decisions. For both businesses and Business Schools, the relevant environment of business is increasingly global.

He has worked in the civil service and research institutes as well as in the private business sector. He has undertaken research, teaching, and consulting projects for MNE’s, financial institutions, individual governments, and international governmental agencies.

He has published 90 business cases and has edited 16 published conference proceedings. His 10 books include: Soviet Profit Reforms, Comparative Economic Systems, Foreign Ownership Restrictions and Liberalization Reforms, Reengineering to Compete: Canadian Business in the Global Economy, and Cases in the Environment of Business: International Perspectives.
